I love Avista

There are so many reasons why I take pride in calling it home. Being part of the choir here has been a joy, and I've made so many friends that I never feel alone. The staff is wonderful. I can truly say that I love it here & would highly recommend Avista looking.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

I am/was a resident of this facility

I moved into Avista Senior Living. It's a nice place. I have a two-bedroom, two-bath apartment, and it's very nice. Today they went on a trip, they have bingo, and they have a couple of things going on. The food is very good. The staff is fine, they're good people, and if you can live here it's good.
